 Not what I was looking for April 6, 2009

Orthopedic Physical Assessment Enhanced Edition
I was looking for a book that would define orthopedic abbreviations for me and would tell me the normals of orthopedic ROM tests, names and definitions of orthopedic tests used in examination, etc. This book was not it.
 Comprehensive and yet never dull December 27, 2008

The first time I saw this book in the hands of an US exchange student, I became jealous. Everything I had learned as a fourth year pt student on diagnostic assessment was in there and more. I just had to have it. From details of observation to validity of test procedures, it is all there, even the more obscure and rarely used tests. In combination with lots of drawings (albeit not very detailed), x-rays, and pictures, everything you ever could want to know is available. And it is well written, compact but clear. It is THE book on the subject.
Great resource! December 19, 2008

Outstanding reference in orthopedic examination February 16, 2008

The Fifth Edition of Orthopedic Physical Assessment is an outstanding reference for orthopedic physical therapists. The additional color pictures, illustrates, and upgraded tables within the chapter topics provides the reader a overview of a wealth of information. The regional and diagnose specific functional measurement/assessment tests are helpful for clinical outcome measurement data. Chapter four presents an outstanding overview of TMJ examination for an example. The chapter Appendixes with the reliability, validity, specificity, and sensitivity of special/diagnostic tests are helpful.
I looked forward to seeing the 5th edition and have not been disappointed!
